CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte City Council was forced to re-vote on a routine measure authorizing the purchase of ammunition for Charlotte Mecklenburg police on Monday night, WSOC-TV reported.
During the initial vote, only 4 of the 11 councilmembers raised their hands to approve the purchase.

Tariq Bokhari, one of the council’s two Republicans, chided his colleagues asking, “are we really doing this?”
Upon a second vote, the item passed 6-1 with Braxton Winston, a longtime anti-law enforcement activist, voting against the routine purchase.
Bokhari tweeted “wild times” after the vote.
